WN POSITIONS = PHISHING SCAM!

Received multiple calls from 509-588-7049 - Location: Washington (Kennewick, Spokane, Yakima). "Joeseph" and "Chris" are the two 'telemarketers' - who are actually phishing for personal information. Upon answering the initial call, I was informed that I had recently filled out an on-line survey (which I had not), and that they were calling me with a job opportunity. When I inquired how/where they'd obtained my number (which IS on the NO CALL list), I was hung up on.

SO, I proceeded to ring them back (approximately 4~5 dozen times!) thru out the day. An automated system is setup; push #1 for a representative, #9 to have your number removed. I chose #1 - reaching both "Joseph" and "Chris" - but no supervisor. Obviously, they've no way to identify incoming calls, or they'd not have kept answering. Eventually it went directly to a recording that said they were only open during the 'normal' business hours of 9:00am~9:00pm EST - I began to receive this recording at 7:36pm EST.

Portions of the calls were computerized, but once they began to recognize my voice (after about the first 9 call backs) there was a fair amount of cursing/swearing, yelling, aggravated reactions, etc. from them. So will assume there's a 'real' person on the phone line during a portion of the call(s)...unless they have computerized systems that swear like a sailor and react emotionally.

This is a scam number in Benton City, WA.  Best way to respond is to file a complaint with the State of Washington Attorney General Office at https://fortress.wa.gov/atg/formhandler/ago/ComplaintForm.aspx

Just started recieving phone calls i just got a new number saturday.

I got a call from this number and no was there when i picked up.

It's a scam.  They tell you you filled out some survey and are offering positions.  He said he was calling from something like "J&B positions?"  Anyway, they will ask you some questions, do not answer, do not give out personal info.

This has got to be a big SCAM! I love my job and NEVER filled out anything for an "open job opportunity"

This number called multiple times today - i dont answer because this number is only given out to friends and family and never used for business .. if you have a land line you can refuse calls from anyone as a land line is referenced, then you can write to them once you get their info and explain that you only do business in writing .. they always stop after that :)

509-588-7049 They have called many many times and I finally answered.  They are offering me a US Gov grant of $7,049.00 .  I suspected that this is a scam and I would like to report the number.  He sounded as if he was from the Middle East.
